I was watching the coverage of the Democratic convention yesterday and it was like watching a sports broadcast — with really inane commentators.

There was a ten minute segment where the commentators discussed what was “really going through Hillary’s Clinton’s mind.” Not what she was saying now, or what she had said in the past, or how she had acted in the past or anything that was remotely grounded in reality. In fact there was not a word about anything she had said or done. Just four people using their psychic mind-reading skills with extraordinary confidence to tell the network audience what she really thinks.

They then turned their discussion and their mind-reading skills on Obama.

Really, who the hell cares what these pundits might fantasize about what goes on inside other people’s heads?

P.S. I’m thinking of a number between one and ten …

A number of people and articles have recommended multi-day fasts for health reasons. As strange as it sounds, I don’t think I have ever even gone a single day without food, so I decided to try a 32-hour “mini-fast” just to check things out.

I was really surprised that I did not fell particularly hungry at all. No strong desire to eat or anything. I did feel a bit light-headed, but not in a bad way. Think I’ll try a few more of these mini-fasts before committing to a three-day affair.

P.S. I’m not even bothering to give any excuses for not blogging for so long. Please feel free to make up your own. They will undoubtably be much more interesting than the truth.
